I found the Standards schmandards website via Fangs – a plug-in for Firefox which produces a text version of the speech output delivered by JAWS. But there is a raft of other content here, including this list of government guidelines regarding accessibility. What really sold the site to me was this snippet from the about page:

…we will not bitch about web standards all the time. You already know it is good for you. Also, we will not go fanatic on you and say that you canâ€™t use Flash or that your web site sucks if it doesnâ€™t display properly in Lynx…

Disclaimer: I realise my own site doesn’t meet most guidelines, changes are afoot though.

Licorne is a set of four photos taken on August 24th 1970, depicting French nuclear bomb testing. I didn’t realise they look so much like mushrooms, or that they lift off like that. [via] (Now defunct.)

When I was working in an office last year, one of the ‘net memes that stuck around was Lolcats. These are odd pictures of cats (usually highly saccharine), with bizarre captions added, and I found that although they can be quite funny, once you’ve seen a couple (of dozen) you’ve seen ‘em all. This one came to my attention recently though, reminded me of laughing at them last year.
BTW, look at the comments on that page – all written in the same style as the captions.

Using a tilt-shift lens is a way of taking pictures of miniature scenes (like a model railway for instance). In this group we fake this by taking photos of real-life scenes, then adjusting the photo in Photoshop (or whatever) and de-focus parts of the scene to make it look like a miniature.
